it began with tom harkin. we were running up to the iowa caucuses of january of 2008 and we saw in 2006 that the uncounted, unemployed women and men in this country for the first time were breaching a 30% cap that had been on every prior recession. in the worst of recessions, the nine prior recessions as we were running up to them, the uncounted unemployed was never more than 1/3 of the counted. we breached that early in 2006. so we knew by iowa that something dramatic was happening. and that dramatic outcome is we now have one man or woman uncounted who is unemployed for every man or woman who is counted. we have 29 ppt 5 million women and men who aspire to full employment with wages, not the 14 million that's cited. we started the first task force, the horizon project, the men and women named on the press release in this task force, many were involved in that initial effort. it was tom and others' suggestion that we have legislative prescriptions that were quite precise to create jobs. as a principal matter,
